Express Ourselves
Sometimes I extend beyond expressing into plain silly when I get creative with what I wear. On occasion I stretch my creativity and end up feeling awkward about it all day. If I get compliments I start feeling better, if I don’t I feel sillier. The thing is - I’m willing to try because expressing myself through my outfits helps other people know who I am.
When we wear clothes that express a little bit of ourselves while adhering to the appropriate attire for the occasion, we help people decide how to interact with us. Our clothes, like our non-verbal communication, provide cues to the rest of the world
“Women usually love what they buy, yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets.”
Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook
Because we buy impulsively… Because we like it but it doesn’t really look that good on our body shape… Because it doesn’t help us express who we are…
All of these things are true, or have been true a time or two for everyone. Whether using the resources here for exploring your body shape or another site, figuring that out will help you know that even if you like a shirt or skirt, if it doesn’t make you feel pretty when you have it on, it isn’t worth owning
